Jewish Life In The UK

An introduction to Jewish life in Britain – our culture, religion, and history. We will explore the diversity within the Jewish community, both in the UK and globally, learn about Jewish traditions, practices, and ways of life, and understand the Jewish connection to the land of Israel. You will also learn about the particular forms of racism and bigotry that Jews face and how you can be an ally in the fight against it.
